Hi all,

I have an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI motherboard running the latest BIOS.
All power management features, in particular AMD "Cool and Quiet"
and Q-Fan control are enabled, but the system seems oblivious to
temperature and the fans always runs at the same (noisy) speed.
The temperature is always given as 40C, which I have read elsewhere
is a default value.

I would like to control the fan speed.  I am not concerned with other
ACPI features.

Does anyone happen to know of any kernel or APM tweaks that might get
ACPI thermal working on this board?

System particulars follow:
